Bath resealing at your home in Colney Butts
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
If you are in Colney Butts and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Colney Butts
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Colney Butts is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Colney Butts
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
